SCARE South Carolina Awareness and Rescue for Equines Inc.

SCARE South Carolina Awareness and Rescue for Equines Inc. Founded in 2000 and incorporated in 2002, we have rescued and rehabilited over 600 horses.

South Carolina Awareness and Rescue for Equines, Inc., (SCARE) is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization founded in early 2000. Over the last 12 years the organization has been dedicated to the education of horse owners throughout the state, as well as the rehabilitation and care of horses from abuse and neglect cases. To date, we have rescued and provided respite for more than 500 horses. The organi

zation currently struggles to provide care to more than 30 horses throughout the state. Some of the special needs cases are housed at our facility in the midlands, as well as others who are at our facilities in York County, Greenville County and Colleton County. SCARE, along with many rescues throughout the country, has been overwhelmed by the glut of unwanted horses. The current state of our economy has placed a major hardship on many people to care for their horses, so they look to organizations like SCARE to donate their horses. At present, our facilities are operating at maximum capacity, and we are in fact in jeopardy of losing one of our primary facilities if we do not receive additional funds to aid our fundraising efforts to continue its operation. Some of our immediate needs include feed, hay, shavings for stalls, tires, mats, and new wiring for our horse trailer, building material for additional run-in shelters, dewormers, winter blankets in various sizes – basically all of the essential items required to maintain horses. We have several horses available for foster care and some available for adoption, although many of our horses are special needs and require experienced homes and knowledgeable caregivers. SCARE is operated completely by dedicated volunteers, and currently has no paid staff positions, so volunteers willing to help are always needed.

*** EQUINE DISEASE ALERT ***

USDA reported to Clemson Livestock-Poultry Health that a 2-year-old horse in Charleston County, SC, tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus and West Nile virus (WNV). The onset of clinical signs was more consistent with EEE. The horse's neurological decline led to it being euthanized.

We recommend you work with your veterinarian to develop a vaccination program tailored to your animals' needs.

In remembrance of all of the brave and courageous horses who gave their lives on the battlefield.

After all horses have done for humanity...it would be really time for us to finally repay them for their endless exploitation and sacrifices 🤎

Silent Hooves: A Remembrance for the War Horses

Silent hooves on the battlefield, lost in time’s gray mist,
Ghostly shapes of courage, in every gallop, every twist.
Eyes wide with loyalty, hearts fierce and true,
They carried soldiers’ burdens, like heroes born anew.
Beneath the roar of cannon fire, in mud and cold and dread,
These valiant steeds, with noble hearts, pressed onward, bravely led.
Through endless fields of suffering, they thundered without pause,
Their only bond a silent vow, their loyalty the cause.
Forgotten in the pages, just shadows in the dust,
Yet still they ride in memory, their duty wrought in trust.
The reins they wore, the saddles borne, no longer weigh them down—
Now free to roam in endless fields, untouched by war’s dark crown.
Today we stand in silence, for warriors lost and gone,
Yet remember too the gallant steeds who helped to carry on.
In solemn thanks we bow our heads, for lives lost in the fight—
Both man and beast, remembered here, in morning’s softest light.
Silent hooves on distant hills, beyond our earthly pain,
We hear their echo softly now, like distant drops of rain.
So let us keep their memory, those souls so brave and strong—
For in the fields of memory, they ride forever on.

Do you know how many times I’ve seen this and how many times I’ve had this conversation that I was accused to being cold and cruel? After all - how in the world could I suggest you put your senior down when they have so much life left. There are so many things worse than a peaceful death and I’ve seen most of them.

A piece of good news! The vet was out with the little foal this afternoon. We got him up and walking! He is on some antibiotics and Gastro Guard. The vet is very encouraged. This little guy is a fighter! Thank you to everyone who donated to get this baby vetted!

I thought after seeing so much misery a happy post would do us all some good. This is our very own Mia (Rose's sister) and her human, Parker. Parker and her family are awesome members and take great care of Mia and her best buddy Jesse. These are the successes that keep rescuers going. So a huge thank you to all our members and adopters who care for, and have cared for our babies through the years. YOU are the lifeblood of this organization!
